The Ferrari 195 Inter was the Gran Turismo version of the 195 S racing car and was shown at the 1950 Paris Motor Show. It resembled the previous year's 166 Inter and targeted the same affluent clientele. The actual difference lay in the engine: the Colombo V12 grew to a 2.3-liter displacement by increasing the bore from 60 to 65 mm, producing 130 PS with a single Weber carburetor. Of the 27 cars built, 12 carried coachwork by Vignale, 11 by Ghia, three by Touring, and one by Motto. In 1951, the 212 Inter replaced the model.
